PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION FOR JAPANESE LITERATURE
- PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATION FOR JAPANESE LITERATURE
The Patriotic Association for Japanese Literature (
Nihon Bungaku Hokokukai), established in 1942 with Tokutomi Soho as president, was essentially a selective reorganization of the Japan Writers’ Association aimed to assist with Imperial rule. Many authors who were members of the proletarian literature movement were denied access to the association. In the summer of 1942, the organization conducted a “Patriotic Literature Movement Lecture Series” across the nation, and at the end of World War II it was dissolved as part of the reformation of the Japan Writers’ Association.
